Got it!

This is the first pic I have caught of Presley smiling! She was sleeping on the couch just grinning away. Today, Nick and I both saw her smiling while she was awake. I can't wait until we can make her giggle! Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

Time Flies

I thought that I would be able to post more often! I just can't seem to find time. While Presley is sleeping I am usually trying to take a shower or keep up with the laundry, and even then I am unsuccessful! Anyway, on Monday Presley had her first bath, and as you can see by the pic, she did not like it! She enjoyed the next one, but it was cut short because she got a little too comfy- that was funny! Friday, we went to the Crime Lab and to Nana Raine's office. It felt really good to get out of the house and see some friends! Saturday her Big Daddy, Nana Raine, and Nana Pam came to see her. She really loved all the attention. We went to Sunday school and church yesterday, and Presley did great! I can't believe that she is 3 weeks old today!

A Weekend of Firsts

Nick fed Presley her first bottle this weekend, she used a pacifier for the first time, and she went to church for the first time! We actually did not make it to the service this morning, but we went to a potluck and our Crown Financial class. We almost made it to the service, but Presley decided she was hungry right before we left! At church, her umbilical stump fell off so we might have our first bath tonight too!

No more jaundice!

Presley's doctor called Tuesday and let us know that there will be no need for anymore heel pricks! Hopefully we don't have to go back to the doctor until she is 2 months old. That one will NOT be fun because she will be getting her vaccinations. Daddy is definitely going to that one! This is a pic of Presley playing on her Happy Hippo Gym yesterday. She loves it- it has a mirror that she really likes! All girl!

One week!

Presley is a week old today, and our doctor appt. was great. She has gained 5 oz in 4 days, and is 1 oz away from her birth weight. Her doctor is so sweet, and says that Presley is "just beautiful." She says that judging by her color, her bilirubin level is down, but that didn't stop her from pricking her in the heel to make sure! Nana Raine was there to coax Presley back to sleep within seconds after the heel prick. She has slept nearly all day today! This is a pic of Presley asleep in her daddy's arms.

Sunbathing

Miss Presley has jaundice, and this is a pic of her laying in the sun. We go back to the doctor tomorrow to get her bilirubin count again. We really hope that it is down. I am scared that if it isn't they will tell me to stop breastfeeding for a couple of days. That wouldn't be bad, but she chokes on bottles and pacifiers!

Meet Presley!

Hey everyone! Sorry it has taken so long for me to update my blog, but here she is! Meet Presley Elizabeth Hill. She was born Monday, October 29th at 11:49 am. She weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. She is our dream come true!
